As Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) was increasingly integrating digital capabilities with different aspects of its business, it decided to leverage mobile to drive personalization at scale. Educating consumers on maintaining an insect-free home became more important than ever during the pandemic, and GCPL decided to launch a mobile-first strategy to execute this mission of getting consumers to use Good Knight and HIT to continue to keep their homes insect-free. With women as the target audience in the low involvement home insecticide category, the brand phased out a sequential strategy to drive campaign success:
1. By leveraging over 2000 high-value data attributes on InMobi Audiences, the brand accurately identified Indian women from NCCS-A category households in the hyperconnected world.
2. The brand then delivered personalized, tailor-made communication to the audience via vernacular video content across five diverse Indian languages with 105 mobile-first creatives.
3. Lastly, GCPL built custom audiences based on ad visibility and phased out a sequential targeting strategy to drive action among users with a high brand affinity and intent.
As a result of the campaign, users viewed over 91.2 million personalized videos, leading to 380,506 hours of content consumption. The campaign delivered an incremental reach of 25% with a whopping 50% increase in effectiveness with personalized videos and a massive 2.48X increase in engagement rate. The home insecticide category saw a promising 15% revenue growth in the last fiscal year of 2021, driving a massive success for GCPL.

As the first lockdown restrictions in India eased, Domex, Hindustan Unilever Limited's clinical disinfection brand, took on the responsibility of keeping Mumbai train services clean and safe for its 7.5 million daily commuters. The month-long campaign included disinfecting train platforms and ticket counters at regular intervals with Domex's Disinfectant Floor Cleaner. The product, which had a minimum of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, was claimed to destroy viruses and bacteria in just 60 seconds. The brand hoped to spread awareness about hygiene and sanitation during the pandemic and increase the likelihood of consumers adopting the product for home use as well.
With mobile as the primary channel, the brand introduced Domex's Disinfection Alert System (DAS). The brand polygon mapped travelers to locate their nearest stations in real-time, and then, the API-integrated mobile services ensured that these station visitors received timely, personalized messages with details of the most recent sanitization efforts conducted at those stations to drive mass awareness. Domex continued this endeavor of disinfecting public spaces and helping Mumbai 'Get Back on Track' well after the campaign ended.
